I woke up for the morning prayer and now I can’t go back to sleep so I thought I’ll update my blog before I try again.

Yesterday he didn’t wake up for nursery so I thought I should leave him to catch up on his sleep. He didn’t ask for it. He didn’t wake up for it all night long (chorus: all night looong, all night, all night looong) and he slept like a baby. I’m relieved.

I’m always frustrated with my son when he doesn’t sleep on time, even if he’s minutes past his bedtime. Today I tried my best not to care so much. The thing is the longer it takes him to fall asleep the more I feel tired. Good news, he hasn’t been asking about it at night just during the day yay, I’m proud of him. My concern for today is I’m still having a hell of a time getting him to fall asleep.

Last night he woke up like 2-3 times. Kept asking for it. I didn’t sleep too well. We were so close to giving in. He’s getting so much aggressive now. Today he asked about his masasa too. I kept telling him that they’re all gone. I feel bad for him maybe he’s not ready for this. Let me see how he’ll do this week. I really hope he’ll get over this addiction soon.

At last I made up my mind. I was getting so confused. At some point I didn’t want to vote. My two brothers didn’t vote. My husband is not going to vote either. No one believes in this Majlis anymore, perhaps my hopes were a little too high because voting is still new to us ladies and I feel we can make a change. This year it didn’t take me too long to vote and I guess it was more organized than last year.

I’m still unsure who I want to vote for this year. I don’t want to vote for someone who smokes, that’s for sure.

Note: I’m on the first district.

From the start of this day he hasn’t stopped asking about it up until I put him to bed, and that’s when he got one of his worst tantrums ever. I don’t think I have the patience anymore! My main concern for today is that he’s not napping enough now that I took away his pacifier, hope this is all temporary.

P.s. since yesterday he’s been exposed to chicken pox virus so I’ll expect him to get it after 14-20 days from now, wish me luck. 

He asked about his pacifier just before he went to bed. He watched a little bit of Barney and he slept. At around 2am he woke up, crying, kicking me in the back and pulling at my hair. Dad turned on Barney and minutes later he slept. He didn’t wake up again. Today morning he got up, was very playful. I gave him a bath and he started to ask about it. I kept telling him he was a big boy. He was so angry. My number one concern is I don’t want him getting used to sleeping with the tv on. I don’t know of any other ways to sooth him?

Update: He asked about it all day long up until he slept. Today it was easier for me because he fell asleep in the car on our way back home from my sister in law’s place. I think he has come to terms with the fact that even if he cries I’m not going to give him his pacifier.

Update: I’m so glad he didn’t wake up. It was a bit relaxing that I slept in late.
